Chocolate chips are a widely used product in baking and pastry. Unlike traditional chocolate, chocolate chips contain a lower amount of cocoa butter and can be dark, milk, or white chocolate. Thanks to their drop shape, they are perfect for mixing into dough but can also be melted in a double boiler for decorating cakes and desserts.
White chocolate, on the other hand, is a chocolate derivative that does not contain cocoa solids or any colorants. It is made by mixing 20% cocoa butter by weight with at least 14% milk or milk derivatives. This type of chocolate is very heat-sensitive and is used for glazing cakes and preparing mousses, sauces, and various desserts.
Milk chocolate is made by adding milk powder to dark chocolate. It has a sweeter and creamier flavor compared to dark chocolate and is used to produce chocolate bars, cakes, and desserts.
Finally, dark chocolate is composed solely of cocoa mass, cocoa butter, sugar, vanilla, and sometimes lecithin as an emulsifier. This type of chocolate has an intense and bitter flavor and is used to make chocolate bars, cakes, and desserts. Due to its high cocoa content, it is also considered healthier than other types of chocolate.
